Five Thousand from Street Hallway
Compear In Oa thank.
Another nai.it familiar In Omaha has
been brought Into the testimony In the
Lorlmer Investigation at Washington, be
ing that of C. O. Pratt, who ran the street
car strike here two years ago, who Is
cited by Witness White us having pulled
down a IS.OOO pot, put up for bribe pur
poses. The testimony on this point as
prlnttd, reads:
Mr. Hanecy: You told this honorable
committee tliat you knew two labor men
two more lahor men who hnrt received
bribes and kept the money and spent tt
or turned It over to somebody to spend.
Will you give the name of the first man?
Mr. While: I', o. I'ratt.
Mr. Hanecy: Where does he live?
Mr. White: He Is the chulrinan of the
International executive board of the .street
and Klictrlc itailwny Men's association,
with headquarters in Detroit, Mich.
Mr. Hanecy: And from whom did he
tako the bribe?
Mr. White: He said he took It from the
Aurora and Elgin Electric Hallway com
pany, running between Chicago and Elgin
and Aurora.
Mr. llaneoy: When did this man tell
yon thai be received I5.0O0T
Mr. White: He rnnde an artilress before
our local, division 125 of Htreet Car Men's
association. In East Hi. 1-ouU. In !, I
think It wus; he made a talk there before
that local anil stated the circumstances aa
1 remember It, and then the circumstances
were published, I think, In the official
journal of the association.
Senator Kern: What ia your recollec
tion of It? What did he say about it?
Mr. White: This is the way he said it,
as I remember It: Ha said that these men
came to his room he had a room In the
Uriggs house. I think, and brought 15.000
to hnn, to bribe lilm, relative to that situ
ation, and he took the money, and 1 think
he said he put the money In a deposit
boa and exposed it to the local and ad
vertised the money and told them to come
and get It, and none came and got It,
and the money was afterward taken by
I'ratt, after It had been there for a while
and I think he offered It to the Interna
tional association In convention and they
would not take it. and he used It himself.
That Is the way I understood the situation.
Mr. Hanecy: That is, tha international
association refused to take the "dirty"
money?
Mr. White: They did not consider It
their money and they gave it. to Mr. Pratt

"The benefits and the, disasters of the

FOUR TREATIES MADE PUBLIC
Senate Adopts Plan of Giving Out
Text Prior to Its Action.
BORAH AND BACON DISSENTERS
Fear Kiprnard that t'eaifsUsry Ar
bitration la PravMeel, Tenting;
tei Deprive Senate of ton.
atltotlonal Preroaattve,
WASHINGTON, Aug. fc-The senate has
adopted the rather unusual, but not
unprecedented course of making public the
text of four treaties which have not yet
received action at Its hands. These were
the Anglo-American and the Franoo-Amerl
can general arbitration treaties, and tha
treaties providing for the adjustment of
the finances and customs of Honduras and
Nicaragua.
Publicity was given to the Important con
ventions at the request of the administra
tion, which desires that the subject matter
shall receive the fullest consideration by
the press and the people In order to en
lighten the senate aa to tha real sentiment
of the country as a basts for Its own ac
tion. Some justification for this procedure de
veloped yesterday when In the course of a
short executive session two senators of op
posite parties, Borah of Idaho and Bacon of
Georgia, voiced their dissent to the con
clusion of the arbitration treaties In the
forms submitted. Their criticism was aimed
at Article III, (identical In the two treaties)
which in their opinion provides for com
pulsory arbitration, and thus tends to de
prive the I'nl ted Ptates senate of Its con
stitutional perogative. The treaty, advo
cates, however, felt that there had been a
misunderstanding of the scope of the treaty,
by the two senators named and that a
clause In Article 1 of the treaties, which
provides that there shall be no arbitration
except under the terms of a special agree
ment effectively guards the rights of tha
senate as such special agreement shall re
ceive the senate's sanction In order to be
come operative. '
Referred to Committee.
Aside from a few minutes' talk in com
mittee, and a very short debate In execu
tive session of the senate, the treatment
of the subject was purely formal. The sen
ate went Into executive session almost as
soon as it convened for the purpose of re
ferring the treaties, which had been re
ceived from the president yesterday, to the
committee on foreign relations. Probably
they would have been made publlo at the
same timo had not Chairman Collom, voic
ing a nuggestion by Senator Root, taken
the ground that it would be better to per
mit the committee first to inspect the docu
ments. The committee met this afternoon
and adopted the resolution to make the
treaties public, which received the Immedi
ate approval of the senate when that body
again went into executive seslon shortly
afterward.
Tha British and French treaties are sub
stantially the same, with the exception of
the preambles, some small differences in
dates of existing treaties referred to
therein and some of .the mechanical differ
ences between the treaty making methods
of the two governments. One Important
provision of the British treaty requires
the British government to obtain the con
currence of any of Its self-governing do
mains affected by the proposed arbitra
tion.
No Date for Consideration.
No data ha yet been set for the con
sideration of the treaties by the senate
committee on foreign relations. In tha or
dinary course It will meet next Wednes
day, but there are indications that In view
Of tha short time remaining of tha present
session, one or more special meetings may
be called before that day. It Is Impos
sible to predict what the senate will do
with the committee's report when It Is
made, but In view of the great pressure
of Important legislative matters, It will
be easy to prevent ratification of these
treaties during the present session It any
considerable degree of opposition develops.
In view of their Importance, It is inti
mated that a motion may be made to
ratify them In the open senate, an almost
unprecedented procedure.
Teat of Treaty.
The test ot the British treaty which is
piactlcally Identical with the French treaty,
with the following exceptions above noted.
is as follows:
The United States ot America and his
majesty tha king of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and ot the
British dominions beyond the seas, emperor
ot India, being fully desirous ot perpetu
ating the peace which has happily ex
isted between the two nations aa estab
lished In 1814 by the the treaty of Ghent
and which has never since been Inter
rupted by an appeal to arms and which
has been confirmed and strengthened In
recent years by a number of treaties
whereby pending controversies have been
adjusted by agreement or settled by arbi
tration or otherwise provided for so that
now for the first time there are no Import
ant g,ueetlonof difference outstanding be
tween them and being resolved that no fu
ture differences shall be a cause ot hos
tilities between them or interrupt their
good relations and friendship.
The high contracting parties have, there
fore, determined in furtherance of these
ends, to concludo a treaty extending the
scope and obligations ot the policy of arbi
tration adopted In their present arbitration
treaty ot April t. UHfti. so aa to exclude
certain exceptions contained in that treaty
and to provide means for the ultimate solu
tion of questions of differences which it
shall be found Impossible in the future to
settle by diplomacy and for that purpose
they have appointed as their respective
plenipotentiaries: Th preeldent of the
United States of America, the Hon. Phi
lander C. Knox, secretary of state of the
United States, and his Brltannio majesty,

reason of being susceptible of decision by
the application of the principles of law
or equity, shall be submitted to the per

at The Hague by the convention of Oc

Many a brave little band ot golfer will
start Its anuual trek to the great Trans
mlsslppl golt tournament the latter part of
this week, and this year the gathering of
the devoteea for the annual fest will be in
Omaha. August 14-U. Carrying their driv
ers, brassies, putters, and anywhere from
six to seventeen more clubs, they will make
their pilgrimage to the Omaha Country
elub from point over ail the wide terri
tory west of the Mississippi, a really Trans
mlsslsslppl tournament.
There will be more golfer entered than
ever before. Thl la certain from the re
port that "they are coming," which are
being received in Omaha, each day by the
golfer of thla city. They will be coming
from more place in the west than ever
before, because since the last Transmls
slsslppi tournament held In Denver last year
there have been a number of new clubs
entered on the roll call of the association.
That nothing will be too good tor th
visitor the week of the tournament has
been decided by the member of the Omaha
Country club, th host to this big gather
ing, and the other organisations of Omaha
men have joined in right good spirit and
have freely offered the use of their courses
and clubhouse for the entertainment or
the use of the men coming.
It has been practically decided with the
many men coming that It will be neces
sary to play the two days of qualifying
rounds on both the Omaha Country cluD
and the Omaha Field club courses. The
plan is as originally outlined, halt the men
play the first eighteen holes on tne Country
Club Monday asd th lost eighteen, on the
Field club, Tuesday, and the other half
play the first eighteen holes on the Field
club Monday and the second eighteen on
the Country club, Tuesday.
The.-other days of the tournament It will
be possible to play all th matches on the
Country club course.
Lookers Turned Over to Visitors.
All the members of the Country club are
giving up their lockers In the club for the
use of th visitors, and other preparations
are being made on a similar scale to enter
tain them. A locker room on the second
floor No. 1 will bo used for the Country
olub men and men of Omaha.
Coupon books for the use ot visitors play
ing in the tournament have been printed
and made good for all the clubs of Omaha.
The book stands as the card of admis
sion of the member to any ot these clubs.
This Is a new Idea in handling visitors at
a tourney and it ia thought that it will
prove highly satisfactory.
Entries for the big tournament close Sat
urday, and by that time more than 400
players will have their names registered.
Secretary J. P. Magee and Assistant Secre
tary Ralph Peters will make up the pairing
Saturday night and they will b announced
Sunday morning.
The method ot obtaining entries for the
TranBmlsalsslppi thla year will bring many
who never attended the tournament before.
Each man in Omaha wrote to the friends
who played golf In other citlea asking them
to come and attend the Omaha event and
bring as many friend aa be could. All
who wrote felt sure they could make good
and personally guaranteed a good time to
th visitors. -

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Aug. . -(Special.)
Joe Booth, who live twelve miles from
Broken Bow, lost a large barn yesterday
four head of horses, grain, harness, etc.
when the barn caught fire while he was
In Broken Bow. The fire wa started
either by lightning or was ot Incendiary
origin. Mr. Booth several months ago
found his brother-in-law's horse uead in
the pasture and it is believed that some
one with a grudge against Mr. Booth had
shot and killed the animal, believing it
belonged to him.
The 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Adams of near Callaway, was op
erated on yesterday for appendicitis In

on hi leg. They were walking to the fair
ground and the boy wa struck first, the

auto, which hit him and knocked him
down before It was stopped. The Vincents
lived in Ord, but are traveling overland
to Cheyenne county. Last night one of
their horse was caught In a wire fence
and had Its leg badly Injured. The owner
of the auto which Injured the boy has
offered to pay medical expenses and give
